| Description |
Unlike later D-Pads and analog sticks, paddle controllers use a wheel and buttons for input. Wheels allow for quick and accurate motion along one axis, as in moving a paddle up and down in arcade Pong (1972), the first videogame to use paddle controls. Paddle wheels do not free spin; they have a maximum rotation point in each direction beyond which the wheel cannot turn. Generally they allow for about 330 degrees of twist. Free spinning controllers, such as Atari’s Driving Controller, were used less frequently. <a href="http://www.digitalgamemuseum.org/consolecontrollerevolution/classic/paddle/" rel="nofollow">More detail is available</a> on our <a href="http://www.digitalgamemuseum.org/consolecontrollerevolution/" rel="nofollow">online exhibit</a>. |
